Lazy on a deep blue sea
Today we decided to be adventurous, well after a late start, a swim in our pool and lunch.
We took the Local Bus to Lindos. the hotel Rep said that we could walk, it was only 4 km. .... But I looked at the 1/3 gradient and decided that wouldn't work for me.
The bus announced via Google Translate, that it would be stopping shortly and we could wait for a shuttle to take us the rest of the way to Lindos which came every 45 minutes.
We looked at the road and decided to walk.
It's very difficult to walk when your feet are positioned as if you have stilettos on, but walk we did with hoards of other folk. And Folk walking back up the hill, panting, and exclaiming the onset of death.
We got there, to the town square, which was still another cliff face away from the beach. We sat for a moment to contemplate and decided to wander the town.
Tiny little alleyways out of the sun, all leading one way or another to the Acropolis, which disappointed me slightly - that it didn't look like an Acropolis, but more like a Norman castle.
I did not endeavour the walk up to the acropolis - i was a tad light headed and puffing. So we sat in a bar instead and watched the world go by. (Including the donkeys which could take us to the Acropolis, but I was not going to including killing donkeys in my list of achievements.
We got back to the square and opted for a taxi. I approached one and he said "Lindos White". I said "oh god, are we so predictable, that he can identify our destination just by looking at us" He laughed loudly, and pointed at my wrist. Proudly bearing "executive lindos suites".
I was actually a little disappointed that he hadn't actually just developed a second sight.
On our return to the hotel, it was necessary to drink copious amounts of alcohol in order to recover from ALL of the Walking.
We got incredibly silly, and had to go to bed early. After fighting off a gigantic beast which had entered our boudoir
